Sir, - Walking to work yesterday morning, I saw an Asian man accosted on the pavement by an employee of a shop on Nassau Street. The Asian man was taken by the arm, shown a bin and told loudly, "You wouldn't do that in your own country, don't do it in mine." What was the man's crime? Dropping a cigarette butt (like thousands of Dubliners every day). Does the Nassau Street shopworker stop everyone who drops cigarette butts? Or just the foreigners? - Yours, etc.,
Beth Bell, Victoria Road, Dublin 6.
